7.7 /10

Overview

I chose the College of Charleston because of the beauty of the location, the study abroad programs, a liberal arts education, a major interest offered, and because of the moving experience of being somewhere with a deep history.

Fees

The education fees are efficient, and done entirely online through a confidential portal accessed through your student account. Predictions for fees are weighed into total school cost but a student could survive here just fine with just a meal plan and a living space. The campus is compact.

8.2 /10

Overview

The interdisciplinary major was super broad. The weather and the ability to major in sustainable Ed. I ride my bike to class and have a very strong community there. I couldn't ask for a better college. The atmosphere is great. The majority of the professors actually want you to do well and will help you if you put in the effort or go to their office hours. Plus, Charleston is an amazing city. So much to do and so many great people

Fees

I had a full scholarship. I know the structure is $30,000 a year period most people receive at least half of that run $15,000 in financial aid period most of my friends pay Leston $5000 a semester and at the end of each semester applying for eligibility for further scholarship.
